What I did on my summer vacation

Well, yesterday was the last of the lists. For one thing, I ran out of easy topics. For another, and mainly, those were the entries I wrote before spending a week out of town with uncertain internet access--and since Blogger now lets you schedule posts, that's what I did. :) But I had a lot of fun doing them and will probably do more lists if I think of any other good lists to do!

While gone, we--of course--went to comic book shops! I had planned on looking for some trades, but apparently comic book shops aren't necessarily the best places to look for specific trades because there are so many and they tend to sell out quickly. So we picked up the brand new Atomic Robo trade and then looked at the toys.

The kids both went for the Marvel Mini-Mates. The thirteen-year-old first looked at the Arsenal action figure but decided against it after a closer look. She then decided on a Deadshot figure. But as soon as she saw the Marvel Zombies Mini-Mate set, that was it. As for the nine-year-old, she picked out Ms. Marvel and Ultron, and a Spider-Man/Mary Jane movie set. Incidentally, she was scandalized by the fact that minimate MJ isn't wearing underwear! (I told her that perhaps MJ was wearing tights, but she was having none of it--no underwear!).

And I picked up a few action figures. Which I'll talk about in another post because I am tired. Just happy to get back to my normal altitude, 5000 feet wore me out!
